A Sweater for All Seasons

We know what you're thinking. Why pitch me a sweater in August? But when it's cashmere, it's always in season.

The best sweaters in the world are usually made from cashmere, and there's a reason for that. It's soft, obviously, and if cared for properly, the fabric is strong enough to last for years. But cashmere's greatest asset is its versatility: A good cashmere sweater is warm enough for winter but lightweight enough for spring, fall, and the cool summer nights in between. Start with gray or black and build a stack from there. Cashmere sweaters ($79 each) by Uniqlo.
